The author has done a great job of collecting and sorting out all sorts of interesting details about Cubs, the As through Ms, the 4, 6, and 9-series tractors, and the Super versions. He's also found and reproduced IH's blueprints showing where to place decals on all those tractors, and a whole bunch of terrific color and b/w archival photographs. Those are complemented by very good and useful new color photos with detailed captions, so the book is great fun to look at as well as read--definitely a keeper.
Excellent book for anyone restoring Letter Series Farmall Tractors so that they will be as they came fresh from the factory.I purchased my book used and was disappointed that the binding was failing and was not described as such. I can not fault the author only the seller.
I am restoring a 1951 Farmall M, and purchased this book mainly because the description states that it contains, among other things, factory original decal placement. To my disappointment, however, when I turned to the decal section, there was no info. available for the Farmall M. Thinking I would simply try the Farmall H decal placement section, I found it also to be void of the needed information. Understanding that this particular info. was not available to the author, but perhaps book description could be revised. Otherwise, a pretty informative and entertainig read.
Book was in very good shape. I am restoring a Super A tractor so this book has been a great deal of help!
The authors, Guy Fay and Andy Kaushaar, have compiled an excellent reference work for those interested in discovering and continuing the Farmall tradition. Their clarity in description of Farmall letter series tractors and attention to detail and excellence in photography make this an outstanding resource for learning more about these unique tractors. This "originality guide" serves as an outstanding resource for restoring Farmall letter series tractors. Highly recommended for historians of corporate America searching for International Harvestor products, this fine reference guide preserves a significant aspect of agricultural history for future generations.
If you have or are interested in any of the letter series (A, B, C, H, M) or the standard tread versions of them (W-4, W-6, W-9) you need this book! Excellent details on almost every aspect of the tractors, charts to show where the decals go, great pictures of restored examples, and details of the variations of each model. I read this book from cover to cover the day I got it and have been rereading it ever since! Great book on Farmalls!
I bought this book because my late grandfather owned a farmall cub that has several implements, although it belongs to my uncle now I wanted to research it for its originality and the year it was made, a very informitive book.I found the book to be very accurate in where to find the information I needed on the tractor itself as well as learning about the other tractors Farmall made.
This is a must for Farmall lovers. It is well organized with both historical and mechanical information. It is an enjoyable book to sit back with and browse, or it is helpful when information is needed about a specific tractor. I gave it as a gift, and borrow (steal) it every now and then to enjoy myself.
